I’m joining Becky in her February Square Photo Challenge over at The Life of B. The rules of the challenge are simple: most photos must be square and fit the theme word Odd, referencing one of these definitions: different to what is usual or expected, or strange; a number of items, with one left over as a remainder when divided by two; happening or occurring infrequently and irregularly, or occasionally; separated from a usual pair or set and therefore out of place or mismatched. Look for #SquareOdds.
While we didn’t travel as much as usual in 2021, we were fortunate to enjoy several holidays in our home state of Queensland and one short trip over the border in New South Wales. Join me this month in a retrospective look at the very odd year of 2021.
Eungella QLD, May 2021
After driving up the long, winding road from the Pioneer Valley to the top of the Great Dividing Range, the first building we came to was the Eungella Chalet.
The chalet has long been famous for its spectacular views of the valley and its delicious Devonshire Teas.
We weren’t quite sure why these motorbikes were parked in this strange location at the edge of the escarpment. And the thought of leaping off this launch pad strapped into a hang glider was quite freaky.
It wasn’t enough to put me off my afternoon tea though!
Did you see any platypodes? I just found out that is the Greek version of the plural form!

It was fantastic.

No, me neither. I was happy to just admire the view from my seat on the deck.

Fabulous views to go with your scones, but it’ll be a long way down, whichever route you choose.

The road is so scenic Jo. But it’s quite bendy and steep, so I was glad Mr ET was driving.

It looks a nice place to stay and the cream tea looks quite moreish, though I don’t think I’d be using that launch pad 😉

You have the best snacks with your teas. Good eating while you contemplate the bikes. 🙂

I do enjoy a good scone or two. Mr ET was much more interested in the bikes than I was. 🙂

Very odd photo, indeed. Maybe they were waiting for something to land. Lots of speculation could go with this picture. It would be a great one for Write Photo. Your imagination could go wild.

More likely waiting for a take off. I was happy to stay away from the edge.
